About this map

Industrial activity and conservation lands define this portion of the Allegheny Front at the Clearfield Co Centre Co boundary. The Penn Central railroad winds through the steep topography, serving the northern settlement of Glass City and the namesake village of Sandy Ridge. To the northwest, the landscape is heavily marked by several Strip Mine and Mine operations near Moshannon Creek, highlighting the region's coal heritage.

Southward, the terrain transitions into protected tracts, including State Game Lands No 33 and State Game Lands No 60. The map documents local community landmarks such as Mt Pleasant Ch and Mt Pleasant Cem in the southeastern corner. Hydrological features like Philipsburg Reservoir and the headwaters of Cold Stream and Stony Run provide a clear view of the drainage patterns along the high ridges of Rush and Taylor townships.
